Synopsis

CAN THE BIBLE REALLY BE SIMPLE FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND?
It had to be simple. Most people had no formal education.
The Bible was never written for scholars.
It was written for ordinary people who could understand it and live it.

The early believers understood the world they lived in, so they understood what the apostles wrote about. SIMPLE BIBLE has the basic tools we need to understand what they already knew. Their words used in their world.

95% of the people in the first century Roman Empire could not read. So, the apostles’ letters had to be simple. Not shallow, but simple enough for everyone to understand. They had to be hand-delivered by disciples who could both read and answer the questions that would naturally be asked.

Consider Context – Comprehend Culture – Compare Common Scripture
These 3 simple tools will help us cut through the misunderstanding and misapplication that has made Scripture seem so complicated to so many.

Considering Context helps us define words and ideas the way they did.

Comprehending Culture helps us understand things that were common to them but are often confusing in our modern day.

Comparing Common Scripture takes verses that seem incomplete or complicated and helps us “fill in the blanks” to understand what the early believers already knew.

The simple examples and easy exercises in SIMPLE BIBLE are helping believers around the world read like first century believers. You can make the seemingly complicated much clearer, the apparently difficult much easier to understand. Have you ever asked yourself questions like these-

Are we supposed to obey “every word” of God?
Did Jesus read the Old Testament differently than everyone else?
How did Jesus teach the apostles to read the Old Testament?
Why didn’t the apostles quote Jesus throughout their letters?
Why are both Testaments assembled out of order?
Why was braided hair, gold, silver, and pearls forbidden?

In the unique conversational style that has enabled him to train people around the world, Mark takes us on another journey. This time he guides us through Bible passages, many of which are so familiar to us, yet we have misunderstood or been confused by them for years.

Mark is the author of several books used around the world. His books have been translated in 20 languages.
